Dr.
Patent, named Vice President of Cultural Affairs for China Prime, to guide
cultural training and China market entry for Western companies.
San Francisco, CA, June 15, 2009 -- China Prime (www.
chinaprime.
com) announced
today the appointment of Jason Patent, PhD, to the position of Vice President,
Cultural Affairs.
Formerly the Director of Stanford University s Overseas Studies Program at Peking
University in Beijing, Dr.
Patent most recently led the language research team of
leading management consultancy, Gap International, Inc.
His role at China Prime
will leverage his extensive background in linguistics and East Asian studies, as
well as his hands-on expertise in bridging the perceptual and performance gaps
driven by cultural assumptions common to Western businesses.
"Over the nearly two decades since I first went to China to work, I?ve witnessed
dozens of failures in tasks large and small due to a clumsy handling of
intercultural differences," said Dr.
Patent.
"In virtually every situation, no one
ever bothered to ask: ?How can we adapt our thinking and behavior to get the
results we want?? The resulting loss of opportunity ? in time and cost ? is
staggering.
With China Prime, I?ll be in a position to help organizations identify
and solve these kinds of avoidable mistakes.
"
Dr.
Patent?s appointment to China Prime?s executive team further elevates the firm?
s expertise, which includes strategic consulting, China market research and special
projects such as consumer and business data mining and integrated marketing.
He
joins a highly seasoned management team that has successfully built international
technology, marketing and data management enterprises.
"Superior leadership and informed, real-world guidance is required now more than
ever to help organizations intelligently leverage the myriad opportunities
represented by the Chinese market," said Ben Tse, Chief Operating Officer of China
Prime.
"Jason is simply one of ? if not the ? best when it comes to guiding
Westerners through the Chinese cultural minefield, and his appointment will provide
immediate and significant benefit to our clients.
"
A fluent Mandarin speaker, Dr.
Patent first went to China as an English teacher in
1991 and spent over seven years living, working, teaching, and traveling China
until his return to the United States in 2007.
He has lived in several parts of
China, including Guangzhou, Chengdu, the northeastern border province of
Heilongjiang and most recently Beijing.
After earning his undergraduate degree from
Harvard University, Dr.
Patent earned an MA in East Asian Studies from Stanford
University and a PhD in Linguistics from the University of California at Berkeley.
